Glass Cloud announce “The Royal Thousand” for July 3rd release

The band’s remarkable caliber of musical proficiency and creativity shines on The Royal Thousand, offering a more organic and ambient interpretation of heavy music, straying from the typical structure of breakdowns by incorporating layers upon layers of dark chords, swells and unique, atmospheric arrangements.

The Royal Thousand was recorded in Escondido, CA at Lambesis Studios, with Josh Travis also serving as producer. The record is currently being mixed/mastered at The Machine Shop by Will Putney [For Today, Chiodos, Like Moths To Flames]. Two songs off of the forthcoming album, “White Flag” and “Counting Sheep” are already available via digital retailers such as iTunes and Amazon and a lyric video for “White Flag” can also be seen HERE.

Glass Cloud is currently on the Road To Metal Fest Tour with Iwrestledabearonce, Molotov Solution and The Greenery, with the entire tour package performing in Worcester, MA at The Palladium this weekend. Glass Cloud will perform on Sunday, April 22nd at 2:15pm. Also performing on the festival’s main stage on Sunday is fellow Equal Vision Records’ band Texas In July at 4:15pm.

Both Glass Cloud and Texas In July have also just been announced as performers on the 2012 Scream It Like You Mean It Tour, which will be headlined by another EVR labelmate – We Came As Romans.
